[slang-users] SLtt_smart_puts and blank characters

[Miroslav Lichvar <mlichvar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

there is a problem in slang with handling blank characters that are in
a different color than background. The following example outputs
two lines, the first one is terminated correctly, with no trailing
spaces, but the second line is not.

#include <slang/slang.h>
int main() {
        SLtt_get_terminfo();
        SLang_init_tty(-1, 0, 0);
        SLsmg_init_smg();
        SLtt_set_color(0, 0, "red", "blue");
        SLtt_set_color(1, 0, "red", "blue");
        SLtt_set_color(2, 0, "green", "blue");
        SLsmg_set_color(1);
        SLsmg_write_nstring("abc", 100);
        SLsmg_set_color(2);
        SLsmg_gotorc(1, 0);
        SLsmg_write_nstring("abc", 100);
        SLsmg_refresh();
        SLang_getkey();
        SLsmg_reset_smg();
        SLang_reset_tty();
        return 0;
}

This patch seems to help.
